The scene starts out with a man in a suit of sorts strapped into a machine. He was struggling against the bindings while the machine began to close around him and light up. His red visor was flickering from red to black every few seconds with his struggles.
Y/N: They call me Prophet... And I'm one of the few who knows what's coming. Cerberus are not the real threat to our galaxy. The most powerful alien species - the Reapers - are still out there.
The camera zooms closer to the visor, now black, before fading altogether.
Y/N: The first Reaper, Harbinger, showed me a glimpse of the future...
The scene then shows wreckage, of various degrees, strewn about in space just outside of a planet's orbit. Metal, bodies, you name it. As the camera slowly pans, it focuses on a specific piece of metal...
SR-2
Y/N: He knows what drives me. What I believe. That being a good solider comes down to one thing... to one single question.
The camera slowly follows a piece of debris before it collides with the man in the suit seen earlier. The suit's red visor is flickering while little bits of the suit are floating off. Due to the vacuum of space, the suit is slowly freezing over...
Y/N: What are you prepared to sacrifice?
The scene quickly changes to show a vision from the past of a S/C man with H/C hair and E/C eyes in a black skin-suit holding a pistol to his head.
Past Y/N: Remember me.
He pulls the trigger and the gun goes off.
The scene changes back to the suit, the camera slowly panning over it to show its damaged frozen state.
Y/N: When they came to me with the nanosuit, I sacrificed Y/N L/N, the man I was, to become Prophet. When my flesh and blood held me back, I sacrificed that too. Replaced it, like a spare part.
The camera slowly travels up the suit's left arm before stopping at the left hand.
Y/N: Victory costs.
The hand itself was clenched shut before slowly opening to reveal dog tags with the N7 emblem on them. The name "Shepard" is briefly seen before the tags drift away from the hand.
Y/N: Every time, you pay a little more.
The camera pans by the suit's visor and back before showing the suit entirely and slowly panning out...
Y/N: I saw a glimpse of what's coming... and there was nothing left of me to stop it.
The camera panned out entirely to show the deviation the has unfolded. Thousands of Reapers had been in orbit of the planet, now revealed to be Earth, its surface was burning... Suddenly, a massive Reaper comes into view, different from the rest...
It was the first Reaper to ever be created... Harbinger.
The view suddenly switches to the suit's point of view, showing how massive Harbinger was compared to it. The HUD inside the visor slowly shuts down...
Y/N: When the greatest combat machine fails... what do we do then? What do I do?!
The camera switches to show the visor one last time, the red from it finally switching off for good. In its reflection, Harbingers eyes could be seeing glowing slightly brighter before everything goes black...
